Life is going well here on the farm.  We have 8 more chickens now, so we have 13 chickens, 5 ducks, 2 geese, 3 cats and one dog and one fish. Oh I can't forget to mention the snapping turtle in the pond. Actually there are two now.  We have raised beds for the gardens and all the kids are helping with all the farm chores. The plants are doing well, even though some of them are being eaten by flea beetles. Some of the tomatoes are doing great, and growing so fast! The peppers are taking their time. My flowers are just starting to poke through, but the good news is that there are so many flowers that were here when we bought it. Just yesterday we discovered large yellow irises and today small pink flowers! 

We are almost done with school for the year, and it will be time for our summer break, which will hardly be a break at all. We have a long to do list here on the farm. Of course some of our to do list includes catching frogs, building a tree house, and eating our first farm raised chicken!
